love the modern desktop app experience:

- go to vendor site
- download app from them directly
- install app
- launch app
- app immediately says "update required"

WHY THE FUCK DID YOU HAVE ME DOWNLOAD SOMETHING NOT UP TO DATE, THEN, YOU COCKSUCKERS!??!!??!?

god everything tech is just SO BAD now

really hope johnny knoxville hosting a fear factor reboot doesn't lead to him being the goebbels of the barronreich in 20 years

Anybody who's ever hung out at a 4am bar recognizes this dude and he fucking sucks. Why isn't the heavy weaponry of the War on Drugs ever aimed at these shitheads? Nikki Sixx in '89 would find this guy "too much"

i hate that i'm prone to enjoying media gossip and the nuzzi shit is catnip to me but my gods i did not know about the whole olbermann angle and wow does that ever solidify opinions i already strongly held on both of them. keep it coming, it is a balm in this age of darkness.

it would cause some hardship but i think i need to refuse to do business with any company that responds to an "unsubscribe" request with "may take up to 10 days to process"

its a delete query against a db table. i'll be generous and give you a full second to process it. get fucked.

also: why can't banks and shit figure out that i've already paid this month's bill a bit early, and therefore there is no need to send me the fucking "your bill is due soon" email/text/semaphore/telegraph? this is programmatically simple to accomplish, even at their scale. fucking ANNOYING.

why the fuck is "search for a specific date, and have all pictures that were taken on that specific date, regardless of year, be the results" something Google Photos cannot do?

just... GIMME EVERY FUCKING PIC WHERE SAY *-11-05 SHOWS UP IN THE METADATA. YOU FUCKS. YOUVE RUINED FUCKING EVERYTHING.

man... late-era Ottoman caliphs would be embarrassed at this type of image representing their country being out in the public. viziers would lose their heads. fallen nation, cursed people.

love to have now-weekly massive cloud outages on these companies worth trillions who seem to think everything is fine so they're also getting rid of tens of thousands of employees? if all your actual "workers" are AI agents that run in the cloud and your cloud keeps keeling over, what now bitch?

I have watched the end of exactly 2 Dodgers games this year. Both ended on Freddie Freeman dongers. What are the odds.

just got the e-book of The Power Broker, which effectively removes my last excuse for not having read it. but i just finished a 74-chapter, 912 page motherfucker (Crucible of War by Fred Anderson, very good) and I don't think I can do another of that size right now. but it will weigh on me til i do.

credit where due: i been using a Windows laptop running the Snapdragon X chip and it's been... about as good an experience as you can have in the Win11 age? Boots way the fuck faster than my mondo Intel desktop rig. Battery life is fully in "don't sweat it" range.

did even one of those tiktok "i'm ready for the rapture!" assholes fess up to being completely full of shit after not rapturing or nah? guessing it's nah.

Hi! I'm the guy at Microsoft who decided no attachment should ever just open in the obvious default app anymore! You'll get an unmaximizable preview in a window from a different app with a bunch of gimped cruft around the content instead! Please beat my ass senseless!

is... is that good? or should i obey the intrusive thoughts telling me to convert my 401k into shelf-stable protein?

love that Parallels needs to update every fucking time I open it. Try a quarterly cadence, fuckheads.

i gotta wonder how hard Xi laughed hearing our old fat shithead bitch about the aesthetics of naval vessels. we're gonna have WWI four-stackers and useless battleships floating out there to get rinsed by 10,000 drones off the coast of taiwan.

i know i'm just old & grumpy but few things make me angrier than clicking a link in a technical resource that i would absolutely expect, based on its title and context, to take me to a written document, and a fucking youtube video starts blaring out at me instead.

WRITE. SHIT. DOWN. YOU. ASSHOLES.

there's a triple-A baseball player at worchester, MA whose name is Jhostynxon Garcia. That absolutely cursed first name has led to his team nickname being "The Password", and I fucking love that. Hope he makes it to the bigs someday.

i need to figure out a way to get close enough to Palmer Luckey to just open-hand slap that dork into the stratosphere. my fuck do i hate that dude

perversely enjoying watching DHH yet again tap dance on his own cock in his usual racist, ham-handed fashion but just wish it wasn't taking down the entire Ruby community with it. you're rich, man, just shut up and fuck off somewhere already, christ
